How do I hide outgoing e-mail addresses so that it reads as undisclosed recipients?
I get these e-mails from other people that hide all the people they send their forward to, and it reads to undisclosed recipients. I only know how to put people in blind copy, but I have to send one to myself in order to receive it. I've asked Yahoo and they couldn't give me the answer I needed. Do I have to go through Outlook to do this? Please give complete answers, as I'm not really great at computer-eeze. <*)))><

Yes , this is done through outlook Express . I had done is some years ago.As far as I remember its related to groups .
Ok I found something ,
Here's how to do that.
In your e-mail program, go into your address book and create an entry called "Undisclosed Recipients."
Assign your own e-mail address to the entry.
Then create a new e-mail and in the "To:" field type "undisclosed recipients." Your e-mail program will pull the entry from the e-mail address book and address the message back to you. This is like sending the e-mail to yourself.
Then use the Bcc: field to enter all the other e-mail addresses you want to send the e-mail to. Bcc means "blind carbon copy."
The addresses in this field will receive a copy of the e-mail message, but anyone who receives the e-mail will not know who else received it.
That information is not included in the header (the technical addressing information) of the e-mail message.
It may be tricky to find the Bcc field in some e-mail programs.
- In Outlook Express, create a new mail and click the View menu and then select All Headers.
- In Netscape Messenger, create a new message. Enter the To: address. Click the blank line below that. Another "To" will appear below the first. Click it and a menu will drop down. Click Bcc:. Then enter your Bcc e-mail addresses to the right of it.
- In Outlook 2000, create a new e-mail message. Click View, then click the Bcc: item in the menu to display that field.
- In Outlook 2002, create a new e-mail. Click the "To:" field next to the address field. A grey box will pop up. Select your Bcc recipients and click the Bcc button to the right.
In the meanwhile you can out all the addresses in BCC . There is no need to put your own email in the To: section.
Please do check this too,

Hope all this helps.

I think when it read 'undisclosed recipients' it's just the way that the message was sent by that specific program. I don't think you can do that via Outlook, so you may have to ask someone who sent that type of msg to you how they did it. In general, most systems require you to enter someone on the "to" line. As you've discovered, the easy way that most people do what you ask is by putting themselves on the "to" line and then putting everyone else on the bcc line. Good luck!

Use 'bcc' for all addresses - not 'To' ot 'cc'.
